Hello, I am wondering if in a foreign married couple, where one has a work permit would that allow the other spouse to stay in Thailand?
TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, in the case of a foreign married couple where one partner holds a work permit in Thailand, the other spouse can stay through a dependent visa, commonly referred to as a Non-O visa. This is contingent on having a formally documented and recognized marriage. The visa can be obtained through a Thai immigration office or a Thai embassy, and specific requirements may vary based on the immigration office. It generally does not have stringent financial requirements, as the primary visa holder must meet the qualifications.
